Let’s face it. Most websites suck. Doncha think? Generally, I especially loathe those wear-their-gimmick-on-their-sleeve sites, the ones that were created just so someone could get a book deal. But I love me some This Is Why You’re Fat. It’s hardcore, wet and sloppy, extreme, take-no-prisoners, get down and dirty food porn. And I, for one, cannot get enough of it. If you’re looking to drool over photographs of the most over the top food assemblages ever created, this is the omnivore pornography for which you have spent your whole life waiting. Co-created by Frisky contributors Richard Blakeley (of Gawker) and his girlfriend, Urlesque‘s Jessica Amason, this is the next food movement—21st century shameless gluttony!—waiting to happen. After the jump, a few of my obscene favorites.
- Deep fried guacamole: Seriously, I’ve gone back to look at this picture more than once. Deep. Fried. Guacamole. What else is there to say? I don’t know how much fat is in one bite of these, but I’m thinking somewhere in the neighborhood of a billion grams.
- Deep fried grilled cheese: Perhaps you are detecting a theme? I would probably eat a deep friend cellphone, although deep fried grilled cheese sounds way better. This is like ice cream with sugar on top, but fattier.
- Blueberry Waffle Breakfast Sandwich: I’m not totally sure about this one, because I’m not a huge fan of blueberries, but the bacon, sausage, eggs, ham, cheese, and maple syrup make me willing to give it a try.
- The McGangBang: “A McChicken sandwich inside a double cheeseburger.” I would so marry this meal.
- Chocolate Covered Bacon: The only thing that would make this better is if—wait. There’s nothing that would make this better.
Now, I just have to get my hands on the book.

@chloe totally, but that is why I love it…like car accidents, you have to stop and stare…i am a vegetarian, but those meat concoctions are phenomenal! meat lovers are just a breed all their own. my ex was one and he dreamt of meat flavored gum.

I like good crappy food, but I couldn’t go past the 3rd page. Sick stuff.

I totally enjoyed looking at all the creative things people do with pre-existing food items/ideas. The first time I tried anything remotely like this was the deep fried Oreos at a fair this January… Disgustingly delicious… as long as it was still hot. Once they went cold… it lost all of that taboo goodness.

Secret Treasure Loaf- “A loaf of ground Spam cubes with a Velveeta cheese center topped with a layer of hot Velveeta.”
When I saw that, an involuntary choking noise came out of my mouth and startled my dog.

Deep fried oreos.
Fried Coke (I have no idea how they do this, but I think it is a redneck invention).
Fried Mars Bar.
^These are mainstream.

Pretty much all of that stuff was outragously (but creatively) disgusting. However, the fried moon pie might be good (or maybe just a few bites of one) but I love moon pies with a passion. Also, I’ve tried a few bites of a fried oreo sundae and it was actually pretty good. Notice the key words: “few bites”. I can’t stomach a lot of fried food and it’s always too salty. That’s why I prefer the sweet stuff if it has to be fried.

As someone majoring in nutrition, just the thought of some of these foods makes me gag, I’m afraid to look at the pictures. Even as I sit here eating Dortios at 3:30 in the morning because of my insomnia.

I too would love a McNuggetini. Has anyone seen the commercial with the McNugget wedding cake? It should be disgusting, but somehow I find it makes me want McNuggets and BBQ sauce!

My new love is most certainly the meat loaf with the mac and cheese in the middle. mmmm.
